    Adopted April 26, 2007 Conservation Element INTRODUCTION 300. Residents of Los Altos Hills are committed to protecting the creeks and rolling hills, the oak woodlands and chaparral that characterize the community and create one of California’s signature landscapes. Maintaining the Town’s character and quality of life depends upon the wise management and use of the natural environment and other unique resources. 301. The Conservation Element addresses the protection and management of natural resources in the Los Altos Hills planning area. It also addresses the conservation of other unique community resources such as historic sites. The element identifies important resources, defines conservation policy, and outlines programs for implementation. 302. This is one of seven elements mandated by the state. It satisfies state requirements for a Conservation Element by including policies pertaining to the following subjects: • Creeks and riparian areas • Trees and plants • Wildlife species and habitat • Air quality • Water resources • Soil resources • Mineral resources • Energy conservation Shaw Robert • Waste reduction and recycling Byrne Preserve in the Spring • Historic sites and structures • Environmental integrity For convenience these resources are addressed in separate sections, but their interrelationships should be recognized and cherished as part of the area’s ecosystem. 303. The Conservation Element is closely related to other elements, including the Land Use Element, the Open Space and Recreation Element, and the Pathway Element. The preservation and use of open space is addressed in the Open Space and Recreation Element. Natural hazards are addressed in the Safety Element. 304. The Conservation Element provides a framework for the conservation and use of natural and historic resources.
